The US once had flourishing sugar cane plantations. There is some research (I think in North Carolina?) about how to bring it back.

  Please don't, until burning of fields is strictly outlawed. Burning of sugarcane to make it easier to harvest is a huge contributor to air pollution in SE Asia. And I believe some places in the US still allow it.

  Hawaii got rid of all their sugar cane, replacing it with coffee and other higher-value crops.

    Large swaths of the south aren't really good for growing much. Very poor soil quality.

      The memory of digging post holes in red clay still haunts me.

  It still does. It lives in and between Palm Beach county through south of Lake Okeechobee.
